Den evige Sne, den evige Sne, højt over de vingrønne Bjaerge - højt over Dalenes Lyst og Ve og alle de Menneskedvaerge. Den evige Sne, du evige Sne, de lysende høje Tinder. Den Is, som intet Tøbrud skal se og aldrig for Solen forsvinder. O evige Sne, du skinnende Tind, højt over de hede Dale! Køl og styrk du min Sjael og mit Sind som Skumring og Aftensvale.
A. Winding sets stanzas 1, 3
